Title: Masonry Paint Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, 13:26:14 Im looking as putting my house on the market and thought I would give the front a bit of a spruce, one thing that needs doing is the outside wall..well not the wall itself but the white concrete blocks on top of it. Also the concrete window ledges need doing too. I was wondering what paint would be best to use on this. There seems to be so much out there. Just plain white will do.

Title: Re: Masonry Paint Post by: Amir on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, 14:17:39 I worked on and off as a painter for ten years, and the only things I 'd say to someone who's going to have a bash are don't buy cheap paint, and don't use cheap brushes.
There endeth the lesson. Title: Re: Masonry Paint Post by: fatbasher on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, 15:53:30 Depends on the level of finish you require. As you are not staying long term at the house a pliolite primer and pliolite finish may be over kill. In which case a bog standard waterbased masonary will be fine from one of the brand leaders, from a trade outlet rather than the retail stuff made to a price from B&Q. Lastly paint is not paint the quality does vary.
